High temperatures Monday have prompted a heat advisory for El Paso County and parts of Fremont County, with monsoonal moisture forecast to increase throughout the week.

With an expected high of 98 degrees Monday, the heat advisory was scheduled from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.

The Weather Service posted heat safety tips for the scorching temperatures, including a notice to never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles; what to do in the case of heat exhaustion and heat stroke; and recommendations to limit time outdoors and to stay hydrated.

The historical high for July 20 in Colorado Springs is 98; a chance of beating that high temperature record lingers.

As the week continues, highs in the 90s will remain for much of southern Colorado, but afternoon showers are possible and could provide much-needed moisture and relief from the heat, according to the weather agency, though flash flood worries are heightened in areas of burn scars.

Monsoon season in the southeast U.S, including Colorado, typically begins in mid-July and runs through August, resulting in heightened chances of precipitation, according to the Weather Service.

Here’s a look at this week’s forecast:

Monday: A high of 98 and a nighttime low of 65; heat advisory in place until 8 p.m. Winds will stay between 5 and 10 mph.

Tuesday: A high of 93 and a nighttime low of 62. There is a 30% chance of afternoon showers and a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms before midnight.

Wednesday: A high of 92 and a nighttime low of 62. There is a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon, and a 60% chance in the evening.

Thursday: A high near 90 and a nighttime low of around 62. There is an 80% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, and a 60% chance in the evening.

Friday: A high near 89 and a nighttime low of around 62. There is a 70% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, and a 40% chance in the evening.

A slow increase in "monsoonal moisture" will bring chances of wetting rains across the region throughout the week. #cowx pic.twitter.com/Y3BhTsXzlV
